$8.99 Cereal Could Rock the Globe
  + stars: | 2023-10-25 | by ( William A. Galston | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Journal Editorial Report: The week's best and worst from Dan Henninger, Mary O’Grady and Kim Strassel. Images: Reuters/AFP/Getty Images/Bloomberg News Composite: Mark KellyThe course of world affairs may depend on the price of a box of cereal. The president is commander in chief of America’s military and the chief steward of its foreign policy. In international affairs, unlike in domestic policy, the president’s choices are often decisive. And when presidential candidates’ visions about foreign affairs fundamentally differ, as they almost certainly will in 2024, the outcome of the election will shape the fate of many nations.

No Labels May Re-Elect Donald Trump

Wonder Land: A beside-the-point president is the best thing that has ever happened to the progressive centralization project. But its success in 2024 depends on whether Republicans back Trump or not. Images: Warner Bros/Kobal/Shutterstock/AP/Zuma Press Composite: Mark KellyGeorge Will is the latest commentator to view with equanimity the prospect of a No Labels-led bipartisan presidential campaign. In 2010 I helped start No Labels to foster bipartisan solutions to our country’s most important problems. Last month, after more than a decade, I felt compelled to resign in disagreement over its decision to launch a bipartisan presidential campaign.
Chicago, the Second Tough-on-Crime City?
  + stars: | 2023-04-05 | by ( William A. Galston | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Democrats who still deny the political potency of crime should take a hard look at the race for mayor of Chicago. The incumbent, Lori Lightfoot , mishandled the issue so badly that her re-election bid collapsed in the first round of voting. Mr. Johnson, an unabashed progressive, is a former social-studies teacher and organizer for the Chicago Teachers Union. Mr. Vallas has made a crackdown on crime the centerpiece of his campaign; Mr. Johnson once appeared to support reduced funding for police but now denies he ever did. Mr. Vallas is white and Mr. Johnson is black, which matters in a city whose long history of racial divisions has shaped disputes about law enforcement.

America Is a Sick Society—Literally
  + stars: | 2023-01-04 | by ( William A. Galston | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
For most of my life, I rejected the assertion that America is a “sick society.” This judgment seemed too broad and lacking in nuance. Yes, there was regress in some areas, such as the surge of gun-related crimes in the 1980s. Life expectancy increased steadily, and a rising share of Americans had access to healthcare. The rate of smoking among young people declined sharply, as did teen pregnancy. Now, in the wake of the pandemic, I’ve concluded that I was wrong.
The Urgency of Republicans’ Leaving Trump Behind
  + stars: | 2022-12-07 | by ( William A. Galston | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
I’ve never met Rep. David Joyce , a moderate Republican from Ohio, but he seems to be an honest and honorable man. In a recent interview, he talked frankly about the midterm elections. “We lost,” he said. He views this group as a counterweight to some of the more extreme elements of the Republican caucus, such as Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert . Moderate Democrats see him as someone with whom they can do business.
Democrats Are in Trouble With Hispanics
  + stars: | 2022-10-19 | by ( William A. Galston | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Republican gains among Hispanic voters have generated a wave of concern among Democratic strategists. In 2020, Donald Trump received 38% of the Hispanic vote nationally, compared with 28% in 2016, according to a state-of-the-art Pew study that verified individual votes and is considered more reliable than exit polls. In Florida, Mr. Trump’s share rose to 46% from 35%, and in Texas to 41% from 31%. If these gains are sustained in the midterm elections, Democrats will be forced to concede that a group they long regarded as a cornerstone of a new Democratic majority has instead become a swing group for whose allegiance they must fight. If they’re serious about winning—and governing—Democrats must move Hispanics to the top tier of their electoral priorities.
Right-Wing Populism May Rise in the U.S.
  + stars: | 2022-09-28 | by ( William A. Galston | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Analysts who believed that the surge of right-wing populism had crested in Europe have suffered a series of shocks during the past six months. Democrats, take notice, because the U.S. could be next. In France, Marine Le Pen received 41.5% of the popular vote in her April presidential runoff with Emmanuel Macron , up from 33.9% in 2017. Earlier this month the Sweden Democrats, once a fringe anti-immigrant party, received 20.5% of the vote and became the largest party in the new center-right majority. The party’s leader, Giorgia Meloni , will likely become prime minister.
